Detailed Description

Compressor object. The Compressor object is designed to handle the operation of the compressor, pressure sensor and relay for a FIRST robot pneumatics system. The Compressor object starts a task which runs in the backround and periodically polls the pressure sensor and operates the relay that controls the compressor.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Compressor::Compressor ( UINT32  pressureSwitchChannel,
UINT32  compressorRelayChannel 
)

Compressor constructor. Given a relay channel and pressure switch channel (both in the default digital module), initialize the Compressor object.

You MUST start the compressor by calling the Start() method.

Parameters:
pressureSwitchChannelThe GPIO channel that the pressure switch is attached to.
compressorRelayChannelThe relay channel that the compressor relay is attached to.
Compressor::Compressor ( UINT8  pressureSwitchModuleNumber,
UINT32  pressureSwitchChannel,
UINT8  compresssorRelayModuleNumber,
UINT32  compressorRelayChannel 
)

Compressor constructor. Given a fully specified relay channel and pressure switch channel, initialize the Compressor object.

You MUST start the compressor by calling the Start() method.

Parameters:
pressureSwitchModuleNumberThe digital module that the pressure switch is attached to.
pressureSwitchChannelThe GPIO channel that the pressure switch is attached to.
compresssorRelayModuleNumberThe digital module that the compressor relay is attached to.
compressorRelayChannelThe relay channel that the compressor relay is attached to.
Compressor::~Compressor ( )

Delete the Compressor object. Delete the allocated resources for the compressor and kill the compressor task that is polling the pressure switch.


Member Function Documentation

bool Compressor::Enabled ( )

Get the state of the enabled flag. Return the state of the enabled flag for the compressor and pressure switch combination.

Returns:
The state of the compressor thread's enable flag.
UINT32 Compressor::GetPressureSwitchValue ( )

Get the pressure switch value. Read the pressure switch digital input.

Returns:
The current state of the pressure switch.
void Compressor::SetRelayValue ( Relay::Value  relayValue)

Operate the relay for the compressor. Change the value of the relay output that is connected to the compressor motor. This is only intended to be called by the internal polling thread.

void Compressor::Start ( )

Start the compressor. This method will allow the polling loop to actually operate the compressor. The is stopped by default and won't operate until starting it.

void Compressor::Stop ( )

Stop the compressor. This method will stop the compressor from turning on.
